With this orchestra he has given the world premiere performances of the Amazing Maurice (Alexandra Palace, London), Stand By for Action (Symphony Hall, Birmingham), We're Going on a Bear Hunt (UK Tour 2021), Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas (UK Tour 2022), and The Snowdog (2012, new orchestral version 2024).
